CAN
BE USED FOR ALMOST ANY APPLICATION

As a
essential part of finishing process, SMART CUT™ Lapping,
Grinding, & Polishing machines / equipment play a major role in
establishing the final dimensional and surface characteristics for many
industrial parts. Lapping operation is used for many work materials
including glass, ceramic, plastic, metals and their alloys, sintered
materials, stellite, ferrite, copper, cast iron, steel etc.

Lapping
is primarily considered to be a three-body abrasive mechanism due to the
fact that it uses free abrasive grains that can roll or slide between the work piece
surface and the lapping plate, although some grains become embedded in the
lap leading to two-body abrasion. Lapping is a loose abrasive machining
process that combines abrasive particles within an oil or aqueous medium
depending on the material being finished. Fine abrasive is applied,
continuously or at specific intervals, to a work surface to form an
abrasive film between the lapping plate and the parts to be lapped.

Each
abrasive grain used for lapping has sharp irregular shapes and when a
relative motion is induced and pressure applied, the sharp edges of the
grains are forced into the work piece material. Each loose abrasive
particle acts as a microscopic cutting tool that either makes an
indentation or causes the material to cut away very small particles. Even
though the abrasive grains are irregular in size and shape, they are used
in large quantities and thus a cutting action takes place continuously
over the entire surface in contact.
